Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub doesn’t taste like apple

January 3, 2013

Baviphat is a Korean brand that make a number of quirky make up and skincare products.

My lips have been incredibly dry over the winter season so I decided to seek out a lip scrub that isn’t too scrubby (like Lush’s) but is still effective. Baviphat’s Apple Jelly Lip Scrub is both cute and cheap so I decided to purchase that:

The container is a plastic apple – sweet – and is a little pot around the same size as a lip balm.

The scrub itself is a very squishy soft balm texture, it’s a reddish pink colour with little scrub particles. It does indeed, smell of apples!

The texture of the balm is quite oily and soft, I think that there isn’t enough scrub in it for me – the particles get lost somewhat in the balm. Then a another big problem with this is the taste – does it taste of apple? No! It tastes like a horrible soapy shampoo-y taste, a bit like when you accidentally get a strong shampoo like Head and Shoulders in your mouth. It’s pretty disgusting, and it lingers on the tongue too.

When you are scrubbing your lips, I think it is inevitable you will get some in your mouth.

After using this I thought my lips felt a bit smoother but I was left with this slightly dryness a bit like with the Lush sugar scrubs – ok so they smooth the surface a bit by my lips aren’t looking plump and healthy at all!
